8.2. Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering control
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the
end of workday.
SAFETY SIGNS

Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-
purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If
the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and
components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Eye/face protection
Face shield and safety glasses. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate
government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166 (EU)
Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without
touching glove’s outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose contaminated gloves after use in
accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practises. Wash and dry hands.
The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN
374 derived from it.
Body protection
Impervious clothing. Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing. The type of protective equipment must be
selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Control of environmental exposure
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the
environment must be avoided.
